My second post for 2013 and my second Design Team post for Polka Dot Creative. I was lucky enough to have a big box of the Darling Dear collection by Studio Calico to play with this week. My long awaited Project Life Seafoam kit arrived this week too and I couldn’t resist popping a few of those cards in too!

Here is the week without the Crystal Creek insert:

The 12×12 papers are all named after Hollywood legends – Taylor, Garland, Flynn, Monroe and the colours are great – lots of orange and green and lots of diamonds!

So what happened this week? Work is always strange until everyone gets back after Christmas. We get so used to the clinic being full that it seems odd to just have a couple of dentists there. By next week things should be back to normal though, except that Melissa is about to have her baby any minute and won’t be at work for a long time 😦 We miss you Melissa!

Sawyer looks so cute in his new backpack – he is not asking to be picked up so much now and is happy to walk to the car if the ground isn’t too hot.

I added a new cute little camera to my collection this week – an old kodak cine camera. It even has that awesome old camera smell to it!

The insert this week was about our day trip on Sunday up to Crystal Creek.Flynnie has been talking about adventures since Christmas so when we were invited out for the day we jumped at the chance! We had a great day – not toooo hot and the water was just right.

All the excitement saw Sawyer asleep in his carseat for the second time in 2 days! We had an excellent day 🙂

I will be sharing this post for Project Life Tuesday over at The Mom Creative. Click over there for more project life blogs and inspiration!

Thanks Elle – I’m not loving the page protectors because the photos fall out but I will stick with it for now…sending you the photo right away – the uncropped version has Flynnie too. I tried to get Aston in but he was hidden by the headrest 😦

You are brilliant in what you do! Such great use of the Darling Dear collection. I love the photo with all the journaling on. Again, in awe that you are branching out and using a different page protector design. Fantastic insert. A wonderful idea to include lots of photos with minimal bulk. All in all AWESOME! xxx

Thanks Jodie – every time I pick up my camera or phone I am making myself take portrait shots. It isn’t as hard to make the change as I thought. Thanks for your lovely comments and thanks for the opportunity to use this gorgeous stuff! xx
